    Old racer

    Hello,

    Name is Bob. I am an old racer from back in the day. I heard 3 wheeler racing was making a comeback and found this site while searching for races. I am amazed that people are still out there riding and racing ATC's. I wish I never sold my old race bike. I am Looking forword to hearing about races and talking about the old days.

    Thanks for the welcome. Not much of a story teller, at least not about myself anyway. I am a has been that never was I will see if I can dig up some pictures. Most of them were lost when our house burned down in 96. I think my mom still has some from when we played around on the farm. She might even have some old race pics. Boy did she hate me racing though. She never went to one race of mine. Told me it was foolish and wasting my time and money. She was probably right. Mom's always are. I sure had some fun though.
    Does anybody know when I will be able to post in the other forums? I would really like to check out the racing threads. I think it is really great that 3 wheeler racing is making a comeback. I never made the switch to quads, at least not with handlebars. Did a little car racing but, I had to grow up and raise my kids.

    Rlamon...Yer a PA boy not far if your on the Westside of the State. The National Quad Series will hold an invotational to multi 3wheeler classes in a few weeks(Ashtabula, PineLake). Yes, Racing is very much alive...come back, well maybe...more like welcomed back by years of Reputation rebulding by Respectful Racers, who maintain a level competition, safety, and respect to the Group. The Comeback is really all one mans dream, dedication to a loved sport, and the common goal to return and show other racers/promoters...3wheeled guys can be a standup group and still run hard. Lots of racing in Ohio, Pa, NY....Heck in the dead of winter we head down to Kentucky to do an Indoor. Check out www.OhioTrikeCrew.com link to their site for Correct times and events. The ExtremeDirtTrack Quad Series is holding a points series for 3wheelers. Promoters were late to break the news so the series is light this year...Being a 3race series next years turnouts I'd expect to draw more to the gate given more time for planing. You win that Series your going on the cover of someones mag. Come join in, or just come watch and catch the fever again.....you know you want to.
